I need to create some publication-quality staff notation using ornament
signs from the early 18th century. There are four essential ones:
- a + over the notehead
- an = over the notehead
- a || over the notehead
- lines drawn in between two noteheads (in this context,
it's not a glissando but an articulation effect).
and an optional one: turns notated by putting a ~ through the note stem.
Ideally, I'd like something that will support this on a small 68K Mac,
creating a PS or EPS file for each tune. (I have no need whatever
for the book-at-a-time interface that abc4mac uses, and its memory
requirements are impossible).
I can't see myself doing the port as (a) I haven't done any Mac C
programming in the last ten years and (b) abc4mac was built with
CodeWarrior whereas the only compiler I have access to is MPW, and
I don't have any documentation for that, so my chances of figuring
out the platform dependencies before going mad are virtually nil.
Most of what I've got doesn't really work with BarFly either, as
the notes are often high above the staff and the ornament signs
get drawn through the noteheads instead of above them.
Can anybody help?
